Live Updates: Carolina vs. Minnesota in Week 6

The Panthers moved back, and they moved up again in the second round last year. And with eight picks remaining this year, they have some alternatives if they want to move.

Follow along with Carolina's No. 8 draft pick, Tetairoa McMillan, as he made the trip from Green Bay to Charlotte as the newest Panthers receiver. 

The Panthers first-rounder arrived in Charlotte and held his first press conference here, along with a lot of other firsts. 

The full schedule will be unveiled on Wednesday, May 14, filling in the blanks of the 17 known opponents for the 2025 regular season.

The Panthers' first-rounder remembers Young destroying his high school team, and he remembers the "swag" Young has always played with, which began to emerge again last season.

While many thought the Panthers would lean defense with their first pick, Morgan and Dave Canales said drafting wideout Tetairoa McMillan was a matter of following the board.

Dave Canales said his ability to make contested catches, his size, and his big-play ability made it an easy decision with the No. 8 pick. And his connection with quarterback Bryce Young doesn't hurt, either.

The Arizona receiver puts another big target on the field for Bryce Young, to go along with last year's first-rounder Xavier Legette.

With a Top 10 pick on the horizon, Panthers fans came from near and far to represent the Carolinas in Green Bay for the 2025 NFL draft. 

The action begins at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 24.

As Dan Morgan and Dave Canales head into the first round, they're thinking adding talent for sure, but also about building a sustainable roster for the long haul.

The Panthers second-year wideout had over 100 people at his house for the entire third day of the draft. There was plenty of food and drinks, but no draft call. But thanks to his "village," he loved every second of it.
